Chaundre Cross, a prominent radiation oncologist from Naples, Florida, went missing on August 9, 2022, after setting sail from the Naples Bay Resort and Marina on his 34-foot boat named "Vitamin Sea." Cross, who specialized in the treatment of prostate, breast, and brain cancers, was last seen leaving the marina that morning. His boat was discovered the following day adrift 16 miles south of Sanibel Island, but there was no trace of Cross himself.
The U.S.
Coast Guard conducted an extensive search covering over 13,000 square miles, using helicopters and patrol boats over the span of 100 hours. Unfortunately, on August 14, the search was officially suspended without any results. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery, and although his boat was found, there has been no indication of foul play. Authorities have not linked his personal life to his vanishing, despite the fact that Cross's wife had filed for divorce on the same day he disappeared. This coincidence has garnered significant media attention but has not led to any new information regarding his whereabouts.
Cross's family, including his three children, has expressed gratitude to the Coast Guard and the Collier County Sheriff's Office for their efforts, while also requesting privacy during their time of grief. The case remains open, and anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.Last Seen: Aug 9, 2022
